What this data tells you — and what it doesn't
The GSPI shows how much inflation has affected garden maintenance costs since 2015. The labour context shows what tradespeople in this category earn, not what they charge per job. Actual job costs depend on scope, materials, call-out fees, and VAT. Use this data to understand cost trends, then get real quotes from tradespeople.
